The Seven Deadly Child
221 - It's Over
(Medan battle north, House Wildbear+Black Bee Bandits+House Braveheart, against House True Alknight)
*About….!!!
There was a light impact sound typical of metal clashing against each other. Along with the sound, a sword seemed to fly high, thrown up.
"If you have a final request, say it now!" Theo. While playing the knives throw it.
Right now, he was staring intently at Master Rodric who was struggling in a body full of severe stab wounds. Fresh blood also continued to flow from the dozens of wounds on his body.
"Hmmmm. If only you had been born early!" Master Rodric murmured. Then look up at the blue sky above.
Hearing that Master Rodric who had been on the verge of death began to mutter something, Theo just remained silent, giving no response whatsoever, choosing to be a good listener. While several times throwing his knife towards some True Alknight Knight House who tried to approach him.
"From the beginning when I started telling my story at length, you knew that I was trying to buy time!" Master Rodric.
Now he shifted his gaze which was originally staring at the blue sky, changing towards Theo. Master Rodric also started to put on a simple smile. Seemed to have no remorse or fear whatsoever despite knowing that he would soon die.
"May I say it is like that. After all, with the arrival of the Braveheart House, the end of the battle had already been decided. So, whatever you want to plan, it's free!" Answer Theo.
"Hahahahahahah…! I'm really sorry I didn't get to know you much longer!" Master Rodric.
*Booommm….!!!!
*Boooomm….!!!
*Boooommmm….!!!
When Master Rodric was still engaged in chatter with Theo, the sound of a huge blast of cold waves, suddenly rang out shaking the battleground, he said, this wave of explosions seemed to be getting closer and closer to the position where Theo and Master Rodric were chatting.
Master Rodric who felt this wave of explosion, slightly turned to see who was trying to make a hurried move to reach his position. And as if he had guessed who this person was trying to get close to, he only gave a glance before looking back at Theo who was in front of him.
"Last wish! I won't ask you again after this!" Theo. Now he has stopped playing with his knives.
Master Rodric who heard Theo's threat, still maintained his simple smile, then immediately delivered a final request.
"The City of a Thousand Snows! It was the name of the city where I started blazing my Knight path! In that place is currently my wife and my little son!" Master Rodric.
As he began to tell the whereabouts of his family, the simple smile on Master Rodric's face seemed to fade. The fearless eyes that from earlier appeared in both of his eyes, were now also replaced with glare. Longing.
"If you have free time in the future, please visit them, send warm greetings from me! And tell my son, I'm sorry that after this, I can't go fishing with him anymore!" Dots of tears began to fall from both of Master Rodric's eyelids as he finished saying this request of his.
"And last!" Master Rodric continued, this time his gaze turned towards Ivanovic who had continued to launch a powerful attack, trying to penetrate the formation of House Braveheart that blocked him.
"When you please, can you spare Mr Ivanovic? You don't have to kill him, do you! Enough to imprison him!"
"After all, everything he's done all along, it's just for the good of the House!" Master Rodric said, closing his sentence by looking back at Theo.
"Are those two things your last request? There's nothing else?" Ask Theo.
"No, that's enough!" Master Rodric replied briefly.
"All right! For the first request, I promise you, after this battle is over, I will visit them! Your wife and son will be treated properly!"
"If your son is able to cultivate his Element Seed, allowing to travel the path of a Knight, then I alone will take care of and train him! And as a tribute to all your services to House over the years, I'll consider giving her the name Alknight!" Theo said, with sharp eyes full of sincerity as he said each sentence.
This made the deepest little corner of heart of Master Rodric who heard it, immediately become warm. Very touched.
"However for a second request. I'm sorry, I can't fulfill it!" Theo said again. Makes Master Rodric slightly stunned.
However, in this stunned condition of Master Rodric, not lasting too long, he soon realized that his last request for forgiveness for Ivanovic's life was a very naive thing. It can't happen.
"I understand!" Master Rodric said softly, before starting to close his two eyes.
And without saying anything else, Theo quickly moved, throwing one of his knives. Right into the forehead of Master Rodric who seemed ready to accept his death, did not make any form of defense at all.
This made Theo's blade, easily piercing through Master Rodric's head. Killing him instantly without pain.
That afternoon, Rodric Alknight, the former seventh elder of the House of Alknight, the man who held the principle of justice in the House, a man who had high dedication and became a role model for many young generations. He breathed his last in the field of battle.
When Theo had just finished finishing off Master Rodric, Ivanovic who finally broke through the House Braveheart defense, landed right in front of him.
And so saw the scene of Master Rodric dying in a state of wonder, where his body was bleeding full of wounds. Ivanovic's facial expression immediately became full of anger.
After all, out of everyone, Rodric was the person he trusted the most. People who have been sincerely loyal and give support under any circumstances. Ivanovic considered Rodric his younger brother.
"Dad…!"
On the other hand, seeing Ivanovic finally arrived, Ioric immediately shouted loudly, calling his father. However, in contrast to the expectations of Ioric who thought the father would soon approach him. Ivanovic's gaze was locked on Theo.
"THEO…..!!!! YOU MUST DIE…!!!" Shouted Ivanovic, full of anger.
Along with this shout, the flow of ferocious crocodile-shaped Mana that from the beginning had seemed so swift enveloping Ivanovic's body, now became increasingly moving wild and chaotic.
In addition to those streams of Mana, the ancient sword he was wielding now also started to tremble violently, emitting an extremely intense cold aura.
"That's dangerous!" Said Master Estro, who currently appeared to be leading the House Braveheart army to move forward. Intending to follow and support Theo.
"Hmmm... does he want to fight to the death?" Master Dario muttered, who was currently also moving forward, leading the forces of House Wildbear as well as the Black Bee Bandit group.
Meanwhile, while crashing forward, the bandit group he led, unceasingly massacred the True Alknight House army that confronted them. Still trying to carry out a robbery in this fierce situation.
On the other hand, Theo who had gotten a fierce gaze full of anger from Ivanovic, was currently looking back at the old man before him with a gaze that was no less fierce. Then he started putting a grin on his face.
"Uncle, don't you look around? The winner in this protracted battle had been determined!" Theo. Still with a wide grin.
"Be quiet you rancid boy! I don't care anymore!" Jerk Ivanovic, then began to advance forward.
Seeing this, Theo immediately returned to playing his small knives. Seen doing the movement will throw a knife.
*Wuuussshhh….!!!
The sound of the wind path being cut off by the speed of the blade, immediately sounded along with Theo who finally threw one of his knives.
However, when Theo actually threw the knife, it was not a throw aimed at Ivanovic, but rather at his son, Ioric who was not far from the location.
*Hulp….!
Theo's throw immediately landed right on Ioric's forehead. Making his cousin who was completely unexpected would be the target of the attack, die with his eyes wide open. Seems very unacceptable with the way of his death which is truly shameful.
"You!"
Ivanovic, who saw this, immediately stopped her lunge, stared with a quivering gaze at her fallen son's body.
*Woooooshhh…..!!!
However, as if it was still lacking, Theo's throwing knife which was still stuck on Ioric's forehead which had fallen, began to emit ferocious fire Mana. Burned his cousin wildly.
"THEOOOOOOOO……!!!!!"
Seeing the terrible condition of his son's body, now it's not just Ivanovic's eyes that vibrate. But his entire soul and mental were shaking as well. With reddened eyes, he then lunged forward.
But, only halfway through he moved. A sneak attack was heavy with ice, crashing down from behind. He hit his body hard. Making Ivanovic's lunge stop, his body violently hit the ground below.
And as soon as Ivanovic's body fell on the shattered crack of the ground, another strike immediately hit him. This time in the form of sharp fire element slashes.
These two attacks were none other than Master Estro and Master Dario who finally reached the middle line formation of the True Alknight House army.
Utilizing Ivanovic's chaotic mental state, the two cleverly launched an attack from their respective strongest techniques on the blind spot of Ivanovic's lunging moves.
"Gouchhhh….!!!!"
Ivanovic immediately coughed up blood as soon as the two attacks hit. He was still trying to regulate his breathing until suddenly a white-haired figure, with a wide grin. Landed right in front of him.
"It's over uncle!" Theo said coldly, while playing his knives.
